beefcake chat aside, it's noteworthy how pivotal Trump personally was in everything that happened. It seems like there's some uh light whitewashing going on of some of the trump admin folks, but in return they're throwing Trump under the bus. Cippolone gave at moments some of the most damning testimony about Trump while also giving an exceedingly strong defense of the rest of the actual trump admin. Basically the trump admin folks are asserting that they're institutionalist republicans, which is probably something of a stretch if you talked to some of them 2 years ago, but it's also a pretty powerful signal that his entire white house staff is disavowing him. On the other end you have Trump and the 'clown car' of bannon, flynn, giuliani, stone, eastman, kraken lady, pillow guy, a handful of others and the right wing militias that most aggressively pushed into the capitol. tldr: interesting to see that much of the actual trump administration disavow his actions

To be fair Cippolone didn't throw Trump under the bus until Hutchinson just about threw him under the bus. He'd be facing contempt charges with Bannon if she hadn't testified. Another reminder that Hutchinson is still a ghoul like the rest of them

I think it’s fair to say that anyone still close enough to big Don on the 6th that the committee want to talk to them is kind of a garbagy human being. Anyone who even entertained the thought of working under the Trump umbrella after his extremely public and outright racist birther campaign should be shunned from society.

I know it's not unusual for Cheney to call out the folks who won't testify, but I also wonder if her closing statement was quite that strong on praising all the women who came forward (and making fun of the old men who won't) before the news of that "thots and hoes" guy whining about both his female colleagues and how he was too young to afford a lawyer to fight the subpoena.

To this day the GOP continues to obstruct and prevent meaningful change from occurring while simultaneously the Supreme Court strips us off our rights.

She was probably pissed at having to run from the bloodthirsty mob, and thought everyone was with her to take down Trump. She tried to lead the charge in the house, but the republican cowards took a step back and metaphorically looked away whistling after they had 2 days to think about it. She was ousted from leadership, about to get primaried out, so now she wants to burn them all. She doesn't give a gently caress about this happening right before the election, they hung her out to dry and now she wants revenge on everyone, making this as bad for the gop as possible.

No, she made an almost identical statement I think 2 weeks ago at a talk she did at the reagan foundation. That said, she was clearly referring to Hutchinson in that speech who was already receiving threats and harassment. so no, it's not a response to that specific guy, but yeah it's basically a response to people being horrible to hutchinson. Also worth noting that pretty much the entirety of the 1/6 coup organizers were men, outside of kraken lady.

The funny thing about “this is all heresy” is that no one in the GOP sphere would consider that a bad statement. “Yeah they’re attacking God Emperor Trump, ofc it’s heresy!”

Absolutely, and she and kinzinger are smart enough to realize that they will now be fondly remembered at least for this by history who will view as heroes who stood up against their party and for America as a whole.

I don't care what happens to Liz Cheney and just because the Overton Window has moved so far to the right that now republicans get extra credit for not overthrowing democracy. It doesn't mean I should give a poo poo about her or pretend she doesn't loving suck. She'll parlay this into a career going on CNN and MSNBC as a token conservative or something. Maybe write a book. If she had any loving sense of decency, she'd take a moment to realize just how much her party represents the party of pitchforks and torches who see any progress as a Frankenstein monster but she won't. This is just where she draws the line personally. She'll be fine.

By setpember, trump will already be running for president, so he'll be doing rallies and calling more attention to the comittee. Did they happen to say how mamy hearings they'd have in September? I imagine they might play that by ear; who knows what comes out between now and then.

By the time September rolls around, Cheney will have been primaried and Trump probably will have released a gloating statement and had a few smug speeches at rallies all claiming responsibility for ending her career, so she'll probably not be holding anything back if there's anything they learn which could hurt Trump and the GOP in September and October.

I get it, but at the same time, without Cheney and Kinzinger this committee never gets off the ground. We don't see the evidence on live tv. We never truly understand Trump's culpability on record. And the democracy is lost at the next election. Rip and tear up Republicans forever, including those playing hero now, but also understand that without them we've completely lost everything.

Basically just realize that a lot of these ghouls want to go back to the quiet W era shittyness but for now they are stabbing the chuds so that makes them “ allies” for now. I prefer the vengeful ghouls like Cheney and hurt “idealist” ghouls like kinzinger throwing the big punches if it gets normies and rinos mad at chuds. gently caress em all obviously but at least they are doing the right thing even if for wrong reasons.

6 in 10 Americans say they are paying at least some attention to the Jan 6 hearings. 80% of Dems, 40% of Republicans. People who only believe what they hear on Fox News are never going to be swayed by anything else. A respectable chunk of people who call themselves Republicans are paying attention. What non-American historians write about the coup attempt will be based on much more data. American historians? Well, depends on who wins the next coup, huh? Re W: I would never have believed you if you'd told me pre-2015 that George W. Bush wouldn't be the worst President in my lifetime. And I've lived from JFK onward. (well, technically, Eisenhower, but I was barely born.)
